Abstract

Mjesna samouprava podtip je lokalne samouprave koji bi trebao osigurati sudjelovanje građana u poslovima koji se neposredno tiču njihova naselja u svakodnevnom životu. U Hrvatskoj je građanima Ustavom i zakonom koji regulira lokalnu samoupravu priznato pravo na mjesnu samoupravu, međutim to je pravo i dalje većim dijelom neostvareno, premda je prošlo više od 30 godina od pada jednopartijskog socijalističkog političkog sustava i uvođenja višestranačja. U ovom radu ćemo analizirati mjesnu samoupravu u Hrvatskoj od vremena II Svjetskog rata, kada su najprije postojali mjesni narodni odbori, koji su bili organi vlasti i uprave, ali ujedno i jedinice lokalne i mjesne samouprave. Od 1963. mjesne odbore zamijenile su mjesne zajednice, koje su kao oblik mjesne samouprave imale širok djelokrug i utjecaj na svakodnevni život građana, kako u gradskim, tako i u seoskim naseljima, te ćemo pokazati kako su u gotovo 30 godina postojanja doprinijele razvoju i dobrobiti lokalnih zajednica neusporedivo više nego mjesni odbori, koji su ih kao oblik mjesne samouprave zamijenili u suvremenoj demokratskoj Hrvatskoj.

Abstract (english)

Sub-municipal self-government is a sub-type of local self-government that should ensure citizen participation in tasks that directly affect their settlement in day to day life. In Croatia, the right to sub-municipal self-government is guaranteed by the Constitution and law which regulates local self-government, but that right is still mostly not exercised by citizens, even though there has been more than 30 years since fall of single-party socialist political system and introduction of a democratic multi-party system. In this work we'll analyse sub-municipal self-governance in Croatia since World War II, when firstly there were local people's committees, which were governmental and administrative bodies, as well as local and sub-municipal self-governance institutions. Since 1963. those committees were replaced by so-called territorial communities, which, as a form of sub-municipal self-government had wide scope of competences and impact on day to day life of citizens, in both urban, as well as in rural settlements, and we'll demonstrate how they contributed to development and well-being of local communities in 30 years of their existence in a manner that is incomparable with present time sub-municipal boards, which replaced territorial communities in contemporary democratic Croatia.
